I believe I may have been living with PMR for 40 years or more, but it didn't get tested for or treated until 4 years ago. As far as food is concerned, taking back control for us means cooking pretty much everything from scratch. I am retired, I don't know how anyone with a job would cope. My husband and I garden extensively so that the vegetables we eat are without chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides, but at 78 how much longer can we continue to do that. I have read to be very careful of Nightshade Vegetables: Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, egg plant, ground cherries (my favorite) and tomatillos. But this means most savory dishes are difficult to make. I have avoided flu shots for decades and not had a problem. Everything else I rely on natural remedies until now. And be careful of gluten free products, they mostly have potato starch and/or rice flower as well as too much salt and sugar.
